Shavlik Randolph reportedly signs 10-day contract with Celts

FWIW Randolph is a better career rebounder in the NBA than Amundson.

Midnight tonight is the nba deadline for buyouts?

[Kane3387]

Wanted warrick

[arctic 3.0]

Wanted whiteside. Oh well Danny knows best?

[ssspence]

Predictions? Worse than old friend Shelden?

Much worse. Shelden gave us a few good games. I don't see Randolph even doing that.

Sheldon Williams couldn't average 32 and 16 in my nephew's 5ht grade league.

If you're talking about rebounds per minute played, perhaps.

Shavlik's career rebounds: 230.

Amundson's career rebounds: 656.

So I guess my question is whether Randolph will take the 12th seat on the roste or will Melo.

I am guessing that Randolph is better right now than Fab so I guess Randolph suits up and Fab goes back to Portland?

This is based of course on the assumption that DJ White will suit up and actually play.

Let's hope so i was also hoping for Hassan Whiteside

Shav is yawn-worthy.  I'm sort of a Duke fan and he was an enormous disappointment.  He was chiffon soft.  Anyway, meh to this.

Now, as roster spots go, I'm guessing Danny is hoping Cleveland buys out Casspi, in which case he'd make a play, and if he could do it, I bet he'd drop Williams and sign Casspi.  My WAG for the day.

He may be yawn-worty, but he's one of the better rebounders off the scrap heap. He'll help if he's healthy.

We'll see.  Maybe he's improved a good deal over the years.  He knows how to play.  He was just very soft in the execution.  It's nice that he put up good numbers in few minutes.  Beats the alternative.  He may or may not beat out White for minutes to even get the chance to help on the boards.

Same with White. If each can give a hard 6 minutes a game they will give KG a chance for a little more rest. I'd say it's a long shot, but worth a try.

I don't have any real issue with this signing.  We're dumpster diving at this point anyway.  I just have a lingering dislike for the guy's game from his Duke days, back when I used to watch a lot more college basketball than I do these days.  Was a Duke fan, and I hated his game back then.  But whatever.  As you say, he's six fouls.  Now, when it comes to our 3 10-day guys, the only one that I can see having a future with us is Williams, who I hope we sign to another 10-day.

You should use a rate-based stat rather than a career counting stat, unless you want to claim that Brandon Bass (2026 career rebounds) is better than both of them.

Per youtube highlights he can... umm... be a solid help defender? I mean really, he has very few "highlights"... I don't judge players by them but I'd like to see what he does... anyone have his China highlights or something? Is he a 3 or 4? Sometimes he looked kinda tall in the videos (his summer league clips) then when he played for the cHeat he looked shorter.

Edit: He's 6-10, so a PF.

Finally someone over 6'9

Haha, sad but true

Can we just let Ainge sign his token white guy in peace? Thanks.

Ok w/ this signing. One will stick one won't. Was also hoping for Warwick.
